Solutions to Preventing Respiratory Illnesses due to Dampness in Homes and Buildings

Over the last two decades, there has been growing interest in the health effects of living in homes, attending school and working in damp buildings.  Almost any type of building can develop moisture and dampness problems from a number of different causes.
 
Building dampness problems frequently occur because of suboptimal design, construction and commissioning of new buildings.  Once constructed, buildings may also develop dampness problems from improper or insufficient maintenance or operational and weather related events. Excessive moisture can rapidly lead to the growth of mold indoors on building materials and furnishings.
 
“There are thousands of species of mold and many are commonly associated with dampness in indoor environments,” reports Chris Heller with FastMoldRemoval.com, a leading supplier of mold prevention and remediation products.   “Different types of mold can adapt to various moisture conditions and begin to grow indoors when conditions are right. Building dampness and subsequent respiratory illnesses in some building occupants occurs in part from a lack of knowledge and understanding of the nature and severity of these problems among designers, builders, building owners, employers and the building occupants themselves.”
 
Human exposure to building dampness and mold has been associated with respiratory symptoms, asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, rhinosinusitis, bronchitis and respiratory infections. Individuals with asthma or hypersensitivity pneumonitis may be at risk for progression to more severe disease if the relationship between illness and exposure to a damp building is not recognized and exposure continues.
